Join Newtown Creek Alliance on Sunday, April 21, for our “Creek Crossings” bike tour – an ambitious passage over every bike-crossable bridge over the Creek! On this route, we’ll cover around nine miles, traverse eight bridges, and highlight some other historic creek crossings along the way. Our tour will depart from Kingsland Wildflowers shortly after 11 AM, and end around 2 PM at Cooper Park. Register here!
Come join us for Open Hours at Kingsland Wildflowers – an opportunity for the public to learn about the green roofs, the native plants present, and the Newtown Creek while enjoying the golden hour from our scenic wildflower meadows. Open hours are free and open to the public and will take place every Friday from April 19th to June 30th, 2024, weather-permitting.

Greenhouse Gang is back! Join us April 9th as we kick off Spring with our first hands-on event!
NCA welcomes volunteers and horticulture enthusiasts to help us expand our native nursery, propagated from locally collected wild seed. Plants grown in our greenhouse are used to supplement our restoration projects around the Creek, maintain the rooftop meadows at Kingsland Wildflowers, and integrated into our Newtown Native Nursery. This is an ideal opportunity for those looking to support an attractive habitat for our local ecology.
